Ah, December. The time of year when everything is cold, the stores are packed with shoppers who are absolutely NOT listening to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” yet, but give it 10 minutes and… well, they will be.
Just like clockwork, Mariah’s Christmas classic has re-entered the Billboard Hot 100, landing at number 10 and giving us all the reminder we didn’t ask for: It’s officially the holiday season!
Three Things Are Certain in Life
Death, taxes, and Mariah Carey’s Christmas hit climbing the charts faster than your aunt’s holiday punch at the family gathering. If you thought you could make it through a Christmas without hearing that five-octave range hit you in the ears, well, guess again. It’s back, and it’s here to stay. For at least the next month. Or until Mariah decides she needs another yacht.
Streaming Stats That Will Make You Believe in Magic
Here’s where it gets really magical. Mariah’s Christmas song has gained over 20 million new Spotify listeners in just one month, which is like saying “everyone on the internet” suddenly decided to click “play” on her song simultaneously. In fact, on just one day, it racked up an impressive 8.39 million streams, and we’re just hoping she has enough room for another diamond-encrusted Christmas tree in her mansion.
Will It Hit Number One Again?
Experts are already predicting that “All I Want For Christmas Is You” will hit number one once again, just like it has for 14 weeks in past holiday seasons. Honestly, the song’s chart-topping powers are so strong, it could probably make it to number one even if it were just a recording of Mariah singing “Merry Christmas” 17 times in a row. Talk about staying power.
How Much Does Mariah Make From the Christmas Hit?
As for Mariah, her holiday anthem isn’t just filling our ears with joy—it’s filling her bank account too. Reports say that the diva earns up to $3 million annually from this one song alone. You read that right. THREE MILLION DOLLARS. For a song that plays every year, like clockwork, on every radio station, in every mall, and basically inside every Christmas-loving person’s head. Truly, All I Want for Christmas Is Money seems to be the hidden message here.
The Ultimate Holiday Queen
So, as the rest of us try to avoid the holiday chaos, remember: Mariah Carey is out there, living her best life, sipping her iced coffee (probably in a glittery mug), and making millions off a song that, let’s face it, has become a holiday tradition. If this song doesn’t make you want to drink eggnog and wear a Santa hat, we don’t know what will. Merry Christmas, everyone… it’s Mariah’s world, we’re just living in it!
And no, we don’t need any other Christmas songs. Mariah has this one covered. For eternity.
